Burg Tharandt, Medieval castle ruins in Tharandt, Germany
The castle site contains remnants of stone walls and foundations situated on a hill at an elevation of 241 meters above sea level.
Margrave Dietrich of Meissen initiated the construction of a small fortress between 1206 and 1215, with major expansions completed under Margrave Heinrich between 1240 and 1256.
The castle ruins underwent preservation efforts around 1800 as part of the German Romantic movement's interest in medieval architecture and heritage.
Visitors can access the outdoor areas free of charge, with wooden tables and benches available in the castle courtyard for public use.
During the Hussite invasion of 1429, the castle served as a secure storage location for valuable documents and treasures belonging to the Electoral House.
